REGENERATIVE GAS-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 429,398, dated June 3, 1890.

I Application filed February 27, 1886. Serial No. 193,445. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHRISTIAN WEsrPHAL, a subject of the King of Prussia and Emperor of Germany, residing at the city of Berlin, in

5 the Kingdom of Prussia, Empire of Germany,

have invented certain new and useful Improvement-s in Gas-Burners, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved regenerative gas-burner which is simple in construction.

The invention consists in the construction and combination of parts and details, as will be fully described and set forth hereinafter.

I 5 In the accompanying drawing a cross-sectional view of my improved gas-burner is shown.

The gas is conducted through the pipes 1) into the annular gas-chamber c, and from the same through one or moreradial pipes 6 into the inverted annular burner a, surroundin g the lower part of the centralfiue or chimney k, which serves for carrying off the products of combustion, and is secured and held and the exterior casing o a series of annular partitions w are located, forming annular chambers 1, 2, 3, and 4, which are alternately connected at the top and bottom.

30. The exterior casing is provided with apertu res f, through which air can enter and circulate through the chambers l, 2, '3, and 4, where it is heated before passing tothe gasburner a.

3 5 A glass globe m is attached to the bottom part of the lamp-casing. A downwardly-projecting porcelain neck g is attached to the lower end of the chimney is. An annular air-space is formed between the burner ct and the neck g and between said burner and the lower part of the innermost partition.

The gas issuing from the burner a burns with a downwardly-projecting flame, which is curved up and inward over the bottom edge of said porcelain neck.

The bottom of one of the annular chambers in the casing is in communication, by

Between the flue means of apertures 0, with the globe 011, near the inner surface of the same.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. In a gas-burner, the. combination, with an exterior casing, of annular partitions forming chambers communicating with each 5 5 other, a glass globe attached to the bottom part of the casing, a central flue or chimney within said casing, a neck attached to the lower end of said fine or chimney, an inverted annular gas-burner located between said fine and the innermost partition, an annular gas-chamber surrounding said burner and communicating therewith, and a supplypipe for said gas-chamber, said casing being provided with apertures for the entrance 6 of air, substantially as herein shown and described.

2. In a gas-burner, the combination, with an exterior casing, of annular partitions forming annular chambers that communicate with each other, a glass globe attached to the bottom part of the casing, a central flue or chimney within said casing, aporcelain neck attached to the lower end of said flue, an inverted annular gas-burner located between the flue and the innermost partition, so as to form annular air-spaces between'the burner and the flue and the burner and the innermost partition, an annular gas-chamber concentric with the burner and separated therefrom by the air-space surrounding the burner, radial pipes connecting the gas-chamber with the burner, and a gas-supply pipe for said gas-chamber, the exterior casing being provided with apertures for the entrance of air, substantially as herein shown and described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

CHRISTIAN WVESTPHAL.
